A follower of Bacchus riding a panther across a field of gold.
What
A bacchante in rose drapery rides a leaping panther and carries a pinecone-tipped thyrsus, set in an oval against gold.
Why
Bouguereau painted it in 1855 for a Paris house decorated after Pompeian wall paintings; the Cleveland Museum of Art holds it (1980.238.2), CC0.
Notice
The gold behind her is painted in a honeycomb pattern after Roman mosaics.
